Can... can I pick Fennekin, have her evolve into Frogadier and have him evolve into Chesnaught? Cus that would be awesome.

Maybe it makes most sense to pick Chespin since I like his final the most but his 2nd one looks stupid... I'm really gutted about Delphox, especially since I plan on picking Charmander. Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur puts all of these things to shame.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm defecting from Team Froakie to Team Chespin... I really like the first two stages of the frog but even after seeing five different images of Greninja I can't say I like the design much, on the other hand Chesnaught looks surprisingly awesome. Plus, this way if Clauncher evolves into something decent I can put that in my team too without worrying about having too many water types.

You sure? I thought that was... whatever those clouds are supposed to be, except... solidified in some sense. I dunno. The quality of the picture isn't too good, so it's hard to tell. Plus, I find it odd that this frog-creature has mammal-like ears. Or are those horns?

well its the colour of a tongue, you can't see his mouth and being a frog he would have a tongue long enough. also there are several frog species who have growths like that near their eyes but they are normally not so flat.

Having the splash art next to images ripped from poorly taken photos of the 3DS screen makes all of them look worse then they are. Still sticking with Fennekin starter, though I'll admit I'm damn tempted to go Chespin.

I am conflicted. When the X/Y starters were first announced, I supported the one with the finest, and indeed, only mustache. I assumed it would become more magnificent as Froakie evolved. But now I see that it actually shrinks, and in fact vanishes altogether in the final evolution. This makes me sad. But the final evolution is a super-sweet ninja frog water/dark type. I don't know how to feel!

... also, does Braxien have a random stick growing out of its tail for some reason?

This works out perfectly for me. I can get Chespin, Squirtle and Torchic. Then my team can have Thorny Juggernaut, Mothafuckin' Siege Tank and Kung Fu Chicken. I wish I could actually use those nicknames. Damn character limit...

I was thinking about Chespin... and then they announced that you get a gen 1 starter. They gave me back my first Pokemon ever,and as someone who skipped gens 2-4,bringing back childhood memories takes precedent. It was then and there that my gen 6 choice was between Fennekin and Froakie. I think I'll pick Froakie even though its final form might be weak to Xerneas if it's confirmed as water/dark. That's what Venusaur is for, Poison FTW. That, and Fennikin's final form is a bit too "floofy" for my taste.

coolbond:am i the only one to realise this are false pictures? first of all the quality is too low than standard plus no one else have reported on this

They're legit mate. The fella who leaked them was releasing a load of pictures of his play through (faster than anyone could reasonably be designing new pokemon and photoshopping images of them). There are even a few videos online if you know where to look. They've also been leaked by several different people, so unless this is one of the worlds largest and most petty trolling operations going, I'm gonna say they're legit.

Speaking of the designs, I'm not a huge fan. Not the worst we've ever seen, but I don't really like any of them and Greninja is a big step down from that really nice secondary evolution. I really want to like Chesnaught, but he looks "off" somehow. I think he just needs a few tweeks and he'd be great.

But hey, free Kanto starter, so no need to sweat it if you're getting this one.

Fennekin dissapointed me so much! I've already commented on similar threads, but this is an important issue and what not. I don't hate anthropomorphic Pokemon, but when you start as a cute fire fox, I want you to become a really cool bestial fire fox when you evolve. If Ash does not evolve Fennekin in the show, for once, I won't blame him.

Greninja is my choice, and I'll have Charmander and Torchic as my fire types. My tradition is to always go with the fire starter when I can only choose one, X and Y broke the chain. :(

Either way, once I can transfer Reshiram into the game, then I will have the REAL Fire/Dragon type. (puts on hipster glasses)

Sorry to say but these seem fake to me since none of the sites that cover the pokemon stuff that is legit have these on them and none of them follow the naming conventions of pokemon. That and all the supposed leaks are blurry and seem to primarily come from 4chan. Also keep in mind that the 'greninja' has been appearing online for almost a week or more now.

I find it funny that I was planning on either Froakie or Fennekin, leaning more towards froakie, but after seeing all the final forms I am going with Chespin, and getting a Froakie for the inevitable sequel/remake. Fennekin's final form is just disappointing imhotep. It could have been cooler, but it just looks pretty lame.

Chespin and Charmander for me, i think. From a practicality standpoint maybe i should go with Froakie and Charmander, but the fact that Froakie's evolution has his tongue out all the time weirds me out. I might change my mind if they've finally added some useful Dark moves i can learn it though because Grass/Fight would be a bitch against flying pokemons.

Just thinking, here, these weren't actually "revealed", were they? I see nothing of it on Pokememes, nor has JWittz made a video about it. Wouldn't this count more as leaked content?

Yeah, and I saw fake content which HAD Greninja on it, as well as another take on Chespin's final stage.

Steven Bogos:LOOK AT THIS AMAZING FANART! Then look at the official evolutions. Then look back at this fanart and cry yourself to sleep over what could have been...

Meh, the only one I might have liked is Chespin's, I saw this image and was hoping for a pangolin final stage, but the other two look very Digimon. Even so, while I like Chespin, it's a little too much like a grass-type Typhlosion in body shape.

I think it would've been cool if they had made the starters' second types reverse the whole 'rock paper scissors' thing.

Like have a Grass Dark, Water Fighting, and Fire Psychic. Or something like that.

Idk, maybe it could shake things up a little.

"Oh my rival has picked the type I am weak to. NOT TODAY!!!"

Also, this is just a question for the general starters: But why the hell are Fire, Grass, and Water ALWAYS the 3 starters? It kinda makes sense for fire because in my experience fire is a hard type to come by compared to the others, but I never have known why they haven't shaken them up.
